    Steve I get same thing just not in to chest so much.I had to keep

    googling the symptom as was concerned.I thought maybe gallbladder

    acting up so I cut out fried fatty sugary foods just in case.It helped some

    and I never passed any stones so I am thinking it was fibro.Hope it

    settles down.But if you have any doubts please see your Dr just to

    be safe.

    Much of the chest pain in fibromyalgia can come from an associated condition, costochondritis. Many people with fibro (including me) have this associated condition. It saves me a lot of typing if you google it. Good luck.

      Bluesman,thanks so much for that info.I knew that costo could

      hit the ribs but didn't know it could the chest or upper shoulder

      blades.I did Google to verify smile and am always happy to learn

      something new.

    yes. and it is very difficult to deal with. i could tell you not to let yourself get down about it, but how we perceive pain is very diffferent. but take comfort in that there are many people who can help you in different ways.
